I Don't Know What Is Wrong With Me?

Accepted Answer

Mental health issues are too tricky to diagnose in the beginning. It looks like one is escaping reality by procrastinating or indulging in activities like binging on food, shows, etc., but it could be a signal of something lying underneath your thoughts. One may find themselves questioning ‘why am I sleeping 12 hours a day’ or ‘what’s wrong with me?’ The sad part is, even after sleeping for such a long time, one wakes up tired and cranky.

Question 2

Is Something Wrong With Me?

Accepted Answer

The messages we receive from our cultural environment around mental well-being make us think that there’s something wrong with us if we’re not happy. Mental illnesses carry the socio-cultural stigma and give us the impression that we’re weak or just unable to ‘do life right’ if we’re struggling.

Question 6

How To Diagnose Mental Health Symptoms Online

Accepted Answer

Question 7

Should I Diagnose Mental Illness Using Google?

Your mental health condition diagnosis should only be made by a trained mental health professional, which may be a psychiatrist or psychotherapist.

Question 8

Will I Get Better On My Own?

Accepted Answer

It is recommended that if you have constantly been feeling low, have withdrawn from your usual activities, and into constant negative self-talk, try reaching out to some therapist. Do not resort to any self-medication like using any drug or harmful practices of such kinds. This does more harm than good and will further escalate the already existing condition. All mental issues are unique, and only an expert in this field is able to make a clear judgment and frame a treatment or therapy protocol.
